BUILDING ACTIVITY.
Many Houses and Business
Blocks I'm Process of Erection.

Many Houses and Business
Blocks I'm Process of Erection.
At the present time there is re-
markable activity going on in building,
and especially is this true of the heart
of the city. A glance down the prin-
cipal thoroughfares discloses the fact
that there is scarcely block between
the Plaza and Fifth street in which one
or more buildings is not being erected
or additions being built on those al
ready standing. This activity in build
ing will create great change in the
appearance of the city before the
winter sets in, for instead of the streets
being lined with one and two-story
buildings most of them will have been
Transformed into four-story houses
and the gaps or vacant lots which
have been in existence will be filled
up. Thus parties who were here last
winter and who are coming again this
fall will hardly recognize the city as
the same that they left less than year
ago. With all the activity in building
there is demand for rooms which
cannot be supplied, and unless the
completion of the buildings in course
of erection is hastened the rush is
likely to find the city unprepared. On
every side the brick buildings are in
such a stage of erection that it will
not be possible to have them ready
for occupancy before November or
December, and at that time the rush
viii be here. One cause for the de-
Law is said to be the scarcity of brick.
One building has been delayed con-
siderably by the scarcity of pressed
brick, and no doubt others are in the
same category. Outside Of this class
Of buildings there are large number
Of houses in course of erection fur
fher out, but at the present time there
are at least ten people looking for
houses where one is to be found.
There are families waiting to come
to Los Angeles, but they can
not come because they cannot
rnnt houses. In San Francisco and in
other cities there are enterprising men
Who erect houses especially for rent,
and in those cities there is not as much
demand ~ here. 1t seems strange
that something Of the kind has not

An attempt to find artesian water
on the Fruit Land Company's land was
crowned with success last Friday, 10Th
inst, when Mr.. II. Griggs, the we'll
borer in charge, struck fine stream
at depth of 22O feet. The water is
clear as crystal and six degrees cooler
than the cool stream flowing from
tunnel No. l.. This fact suggests diff
ferent sources for the two streams.
The flow began with about two miners
inches. 1t has been increasing
steadily up to this writing Monday
morning) when the flow is fifteen
inches strong over the top of the pipe
two feet above ground.
AS this is the first successful attempt
at finding artesian water between
San Bernardino and Pomona, it may
be OF interest to give the different
strata passed through in sinking the
we'll. We take the following from
Mr.. Grigg's record: First so feet
gravel and boulders; thence to 20
feet, hard cement and boulders; thence
W ~ iCCot todtbC SlaNCl. W
$50 feet, cemented boulders-very
hard; thence to 1853 feet, clay; thence
to 210 feet, coarse gravel full of water
through the entire stratum, when fine
compact sand was struck and work
ceased. AS artesian wells have long
been the hobby of j. G. Lynch, he is
to-day probably the happiest man in
this community. He has made selec-
ton of other places for wells to be
sunk without delay, not so much to
add to the abundant supply of water
now in sight, as to test the nature and
extent of the different strata of earth
found in the water producing portion
of the Company's land, to determine
the location of tunnel to be excavat.
ed in the near future, and on a scale
much more extensive than anything
heretofore undertaken by this enter
prising company.
There is an increase OF IL inches ir
the water flowing from tunnel No.
| since the measurement of the watel
by Mr.. Eaton, short time ago. A
bulkhead has been constructed at the
Lone Star Springs, preparatory to ex
Icavating q tunnel at that point. The

Los Angeles has failed to reveal he
existence of single house comp ,sed
Of flats, and in what other city of a
like population is this the case?. 1t is
true that until recently there las been
no necessity for apartment houses or
flats, but at the present tire fully two
hundred would be rented before COM
pleted, especially if erected near to the
heart of the city.

/, w, CALKINS,

COnana1tfee on IHratUta0HS.
The date, "August 20, 1887" was
submitted to an Arab who is notedly
fond of dates, and he pronounced 1t
genuine. Relying on the Arab and
the circular the representative people
Of Los Angeles, three hundred strong,
took the first train for that rose-em-
lowered town on the delightful twen-
tieth day aforesaid and bowled into
the ancient precincts in fine style.
But no committee materialized to re-
oeive the Joyous three hundred. On
inouiring OF small boy, who was
playing in the unsprinkled dust, where
the committee on invitation could be
found. he guessed they could be found
st Indian Hill. To Indian Hill
the Angelef1os went and found 1000
men, women and children filling 1000
pockets from the numerous tables OF
beautiful fruit that had been deserted
by strangers from San Francisco. An
inquiry for the committee and the ju-
bilee resulted in an answer that they
were over to the race track, where
some boys we're vexing some mus
tsngs into an unwilling gallop. But
10! they were not there, neither as a
committee nor as a jubilee. Then
the mustang tormentors said the COM
mittee had gone to the office OF the 5.
B. Transfer Company.
But, sad to relate, the committee
was not there, but a good young man
with a hazel eye and a Sunday-school
voice stated in a kindly manner
that the jubilee took place on
the 18th and the remains had been
gathered up in ten carloads of frag-
ments to be shipped to San Francisco,
where only jubilee material existed in
a natural condition. But, being char
itably minded, and as the day was far
spent, he informed Angelefios where
they could sleep on suburban lounges
at q dollar apiece. The latter PROPOSE
tion was accepted joyfully.
The telegraph was next interviewed,
and the head man stated that he
could take messages for Los Angeles
mp to midnight. A message of six
hundred words was accordingly filed
there at 0 p. M. for this city, and re-
mains there still. The San Francisco
customers held all the wires,
and Los Angeles got no wire
and no news. The series of wrecked
hopes and expeditions closed for a
season of sleep during which it ap-
peared in a dream that there was a
difference in longitude which made
14O San Francisco visitors obtain an
entertainment a day in advance of the
arrival of 800 from Los Angeles. But
to add to the wreck of high hopes OF q
joyous reception, the wreck of sugared
suppositions at Indian Hill, and fond
hopes at the race track, now comes 9
wreck of the train to complete the
circle of wrecks.
From the manuscript found in the
cars, smeared with blood and sand
the balance could not be translated
fully. 1t began in this wise: Hopes
wrecked, comforts wrecked, joys
wrecked, labors wrecked, all precked.
The writer cannot be found so it Ii
reasonable to conclude that he, she
or it was wrecked.
